    摘要: A radiator assembly having a plurality of thermally conductive layers arranged in a stack of layers and a heat transfer clamping bracket operably coupled to a first end of the layers of the stack, the clamping bracket being configured to deliver heat from a heat source to the layers. Each stack of layers has a tapered overall shape in cross section due to sequentially shorter lengths of the thermally conductive layers exposing a second end of each layer to a surrounding environment for heat rejection, a total thickness of the stack diminishing with distance away from said heat transfer clamping bracket.

    摘要: This document describes inlet and outlet channels for a heat exchanger that provides a compact profile with consistent cooling performances among heat exchanger plates. For example, a manifold of a cooling system includes an inlet channel and an outlet channel designed to connect to multiple plates of a heat exchanger. The inlet and outlet channels include a junction portion, a connection portion, and a transfer portion. The junction portion includes opposing inclined contact surfaces that are inclined relative to a horizontal plane of the plates and mate with corresponding inclined contact surfaces of the plates. The connection portion accepts coolant hoses. The transfer portion is located between the junction portion and connection portions. The described channels of the manifold are especially useful for automotive applications that generally have tight assembly spaces.

    摘要: A support assembly for attaching a heat exchanger to a frame of a machine. The support assembly includes a clip configured to at least partially surround a perimeter of a tube member of the heat exchanger. The clip includes a first end portion and a second end portion configured to engage the first end portion to hold the support assembly around the tube member in a closed position. The first end portion includes a laterally-extending projection and a laterally facing surface spaced apart from the projection by a recessed area. The second end portion defines a recess configured to receive a portion of the projection.

    摘要: An electrical connector cage assembly includes a casing, a first heat sink, a second heat sink, and a heat sink attaching structure. The casing can accommodate at least one electrical connector. The heat sink attaching structure includes a connecting part, a first engagement part, a second engagement part, a first attaching part, and a second attaching part. The connecting part protrudes out of a top wall of the casing. The first and second engagement parts are disposed on two opposite side walls of the casing respectively. The first and second attaching parts are connected to the connecting part. The first and second attaching parts detachably clip to the first and second engagement parts for attaching the first and second heat sinks on the top wall respectively.

    摘要: Aspects of the embodiments are directed to an optics module including a top-side inner wall and a bottom-side inner wall. The optics module may include a receiving element for receiving a small form factor pluggable (SFP) device; a heat sink including a first portion, the first portion including a top side and a bottom side, the bottom side of the heat sink in contact with the receiving element; and a first springing element residing between the first portion of the heat sink and the top-side inner wall of the optics module, the first springing element configured to bias the top side of the first portion of the heat sink onto the receiving element. In some embodiments, the optics module also includes a thermal interface material residing between the bottom-side inner wall of the optics module and the second portion of the heat sink, the thermal interface material configured to establish a thermal conduction path between the bottom-side inner wall of the optics module and the heat sink.
